Rooted UCLB3 Firmware for Infuse 4G Using CWM Recovery

ADVERTISEMENT

The developers over at XDA never seem to sleep, always working hard to get things done as quickly as possible, so we the users can reap the benefits. Soon after the leak of the UCLB3 Android 2.3.6 firmware for the Samsung Infuse 4G, a rooted version of the firmware was released. And as always, we have a handy guide to help you flash this firmware on to your Infuse 4G.

Read on to find out how to flash the firmware on your phone.

Warning!

The methods and procedures discussed here are considered risky and you should not attempt anything if you don’t know completely what it is. If any damage occurs to you or your device, we won’t be held liable — you only will be responsible, you’ve been warned!

Compatibility

This ROM and the guide below is compatible only and only with Infuse 4G, model number I997. It’s not compatible with any other device. Check your device’s model number in: Settings » About phone. If it’s not I997, please do not attempt this.

Yeah, it’s for those who already have CWM recovery on their current (old) firmware/rom. Upgrading via CWM is easy. So, you better install CWM on your Infuse 4G, and then do the above to upgrade it to UCLB3. Search on Google for that, and if you can’t find it after trying several times, let me know, I would try :)

You are trying this from stock Samsung recovery. install Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery first and then do this.

Don’t worry about the not for at&t thing, that’s b/c it was written before at&t got gingerbread. I have at&t and it worked fine. I did that, then followed the instructions on this page, and everything seems to be working normally.

There’s a fresh link to the kernel on page 11 of the thread there.

I know these may be silly questions for you veterans, and I hate being a noobie – but I am. I just need to confirm:

1) I have to root my Infuse before I can even install CWM on my phone, yes?
2) Furthermore, the UCLB3 isn’t a program that will both root and install Gingerbread at the same time, correct? It is only to install Gingerbread for those that already have rooted phones.
3) When referring to “your SD card” they are talking about the internal SD card, unless it specifically states “external SD card”, right?
4) Should I unmount the external SD card before rooting? Some guides say yes, others don’t mention it at all.

Thanks y’all for your time and dedication to helping those of us that are ignorant about this stuff, but wanting to learn.

1) Yes. First root your phone and install CWM recovery.

2) Yes it’s only for those who have CWM recovery installed. But it’s pre-rooted, means after flashing this rom the user will retain Root access and CWM recovery.

See, UCLB3 is an official firmware, and it doesn’t come with root access. That’s why the developer made this pre-rooted firmware. If you want the normal UCLB3 firmware (without root), then here it’s → http://www.theandroidsoul.com/uclb3-infuse-4g/

Shivam, Awesome. Perfectly clear for me now. You answered all my questions & explained it so that I know the “how” & the “why.” I really appreciate u taking the time to help me. Thank you.

I had no video after the install. I fixed it by flashing UCLB3 Stock Kernel. After that I ran into a problem where my SD card is not showing, it’s all greyed out. Any body had this problem?

Hi I’m new to rooting. Will this install Gingerbread on my Infuse 4g? Thanks

Yes it will, and it will be rooted one, so use this if you want root too.
If what you want is plain simple gingerbread update, search this site for ‘infuse 4g gingerbread’ and you’ll get link to install gingerbread firmware.
